Over the next few years, our increased reliance on new energy sources and the ways that we receive and use power will create many new opportunities for work and study in the energy sector. During Smart Grid LIVE in Fort Collins, Colorado, from September 25–27, 2012, high school students and teachers alike will have the unique opportunity to discover how the natural energy sources we use will communicate with our homes, vehicles, and businesses to meet the energy needs of our future. Students will learn this through a smart grid simulation and a fun but informative presentation by an international leader in energy technologies.
